My favourite funk bass lines are Forget Me Nots by Freddie Washington (Patrice Rushen) and Hollywood Swinging by Kool and the gang because it's so easy to play! I'll also add Somebody Else's Guy by Jocelyn Brown. Just too many to mention really.

[@ebassguitar]

Haha! Yes, too many to mention for sure! Thanks for sharing that, Andy! Cheers!

There are 2 of my favorite Funk Basslines. 1. Skin Tight by The Ohio Players. With the Legendary Marshall ( Rock) Jones on Bass
2. Just A Touch Of Love by Slave.
With the Legendary Mark ( Hansolo) Adams on Bass
